Ok, here is the truth about six-pack abs. Almost nobody can maintain them. It's a temporary state.
The reason for this is because all animals in nature, including humans have a body fat percentage set point. Normally, for young men it's supposed to be between 12-18 percent, and women 15-21 percent, give or take.
This is natural and normal. We all have body fat set points because our body is hard-wired for survival, and our bodies need to know when we are getting too low in body fat so it can put metabolic pressure on you to get back to the set point.
To get a good six pack, you usually have to go below 10 percent body fat, which is below the set point. Bodybuilders do this all of the time before competitions. They go on calorie counting diets, get down to 5-6 percent body fat for the competition, then gain all the weight back after they perform.
This is why I say calorie counting is a great way to lose weight. temporarily.
The body just simply does not want to be 5 percent body fat. Your body will kick in emergency measures to increase your hunger, fat storage metabolism and reduce your energy in a effort to save your life because it senses a famine.
Six pack abs are not sustainable, sorry to say. It's too low a body fat percentage for your body to maintain. Just blame evolution and your body's natural instinct to survive for this.

What about in the gym when people rush me to rush through my sets and reps? It's so annoying, I hate whe. They rush me in the gym.
I have done body building and power lifting and was taking it to the extreme and dedicated, I had an amazing body, and then I was just working out to stay fit and in shape and I did some boxing workouts and was training to be prepared for a fight, I have always worked out and weight trained and been athletic since i was literally 12 years old. And when I was about 19 or 20 I got serious about working out and I worked out for years and years, I've even done some jail time and had nothing to do but work out in there. I also held a full time job most of the time that required strenuous activity. And I worked out and lifted from the time I was a child all the way until I was 30 years old. I got burned out at 30 and I took about 3 years off. But I continued working jobs that required heavy lifting and work that required the use of my muscles so I was still getting kind of a work out plus I always walked a lot daily. But then the pandemic hit and for the first time in my life I took an entire year and did literally nothing and i got fat. And I am just now starting back, I got a gym membership at planet fitness and I'm trying to burn fat and build back muscle.

1. Drink (16-20 oz) water as soon as u wake up-
2. Training - sequence is important-first do the hardest workouts-
3. Divide your plate: largest portion fiberous veggies, then protein and 1/ 4 of plate starch-
4. Don-t count reps, make reps count (good, slow, quality reps)-
5. Lower abs: move pelvis by contracting abductors (squeeze ur knees and cross your feet)-
6. For crunches: get off shoulder blades off the ground and fold ur body in half at the bottom of rib case-
7. Eat more cinnamon (b/f, red pepper(dinner, green tea-
8. Eat ginger (a pinch of pickled ginger) every single day (increases insulin sensitivity, reduces muscle pain) -
9. Breathing: exhale when you crunch while pulling stomach down (cinching) -
10. Have a little treat once in a while to help you stay in the process-
11. Ensure working on all ab muscles, including obliques and serratus -
12. Focus on nutrition -
13. Don-t do extreme nutrition tactics like avoiding carrots bec of sugar

On the fruit thing, it's refined sugars that are stuffed in high amounts into foods (and maybe worst of all, sodas) that are really basically terrible for you and should be limited/cut out completely. The amount of sugar in apples/oranges/fruits is negligible compared to their great overall nutriton profile, as well as fiber which many people are sorely lacking.
I like this guy cause he's grounded in factual science, he puts up quality information and is open to changing his mind when presented with solid evidence. He doesn't have an agenda or an ego, he just wants to put out high quality information. That's the kind of intelligence i dig. And he makes things simple too.

My advice: buy shirts a size smaller. You might not like the way you look in them and that's a good motivation to get in better shape so that you love wearing that smaller shirt eventually. Shame yourself. Negative reinforcement. Tell yourself you're a fat piece of crap. Bring some reality into your life, unlike society. Don't be in the -every kid gets a trophy- mentality. I threw out my baseball trophies. Actually I never bothered to even pick up most of them. Ha ha. if I said this in a slightly nicer way this is actually somewhat good advice

He-s drawing on himself again! Makes me wonder if he carries that marker around in the summer when everyone-s got their tops off.
Jeff: -Excuse me sir-
Shirtless Man: -Yes? -
Jeff (drawing on mans abs): -Now I need you to concentrate on the areas HERE & HERE, if you wish to accentuate your adonis belt and acheive ultimate definition, pay particular attention to the serratus marked HERE & HERE, while reducing bodyfat using my nutritional advice-

I agree that the calories you burn from cardio are not significant for weight loss. But what about the muscles you build from endurance training? Five months ago, I could get my heart rate up on an elliptical, no problem, but I couldn-t even run to the end of my street. Now I can run 3 miles at a decent pace and very good form the whole time. I am guessing that the running built a decent amount of muscle in my legs and core. Is that wrong?

I dont agree with the forced drinking of water. I have gone through most of my adult life drinking very little liquids throughout the day. Forcing liquid down my throat just doesn-t seem practical when my body has a built in thirst meter. It literally tells you when you need a drink. When I excessive or work harder, in the heat, etc. I drink more otherwise I don-t like forcing it down. Just my opinion though.

As I watched this video I immediately put into practice a few of its recommendations: I adjusted my breathing, stopped counting reps and changed the position of my legs.
My reps dropped dramatically but the workout feels a LOT more intense. And I mean a LOT. I'd never considered until now how distracting and bothersome counting reps is. Thank you so much for this video!

I dont know if this is wierd or not but I want to feel sore because then I dont know if I worked out right. Lol so is it ok to not feel super sore? Im not trying to be a body builder but when i do leg work out I'm not super sore to where it hurts to walk. Its hard to tell if you are just getting stronger or plateauing.
